Funny error messages
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.nocdirect.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.dotGig

Still trying to figure out what was funny about that message, came straight to the point. MS Access gave me my funniest message I've encountered 'Error - There is no message with this error' Work that one out!!

I try to make my error messages somewhat humorous, but to-the-point.
Don't like what I say? Ignore me.

My favorite error messages are the confusing ones in Windows, like MS Media Player 6.4 gave me a dialog box with 'OK' and Cancel' and the dialog title was "Question". Nothing more.
Also, a friend of mine got an error with MS Media Player 7 back in the day, it said something to the effect of "Unable to play resource, too many secrets." I swear. I'm paraphrasing, but I've seen the screenshot.

When GIMP runs out of memory it just says
"GIMP Alert! Bad things will happen!" then my kernel crashes.
Those GNU developers really have good senses of humor..IM: tweak1870

Swear to god, you can check for yourself (I didn't believe it)
In the Linux kernel: "lp0 on fire"
